Washington Cider Week

Washington Cider Week goes on for it's 10th year starting Thursday, September 10th and running through the 20th. This years WA Cider Week features more pickup home events but still has plenty of opportunities to get out and experience the best ciders of the state. Check out the event calendar for everything from pickup pairing dinners to virtual cidermaking and cider cocktail classes and take home tasting kits.

Cidermakers across the state are finding ways to create connection and community, from Liberty Ciderworks' take-home tastings in Spokane to video tours of the idyllic fields at Finnriver Cidery on the Peninsula. Cider lovers can also try new fall seasonal releases from Locust Cider, Spin Cider and more!

Local cider sales are needed now more than ever. Social distancing and economic uncertainty is challenging craft cidermakers like nothing before - with limited service at bars and restaurants, cideries can't always connect cider drinkers to new cider creations. But change creates opportunity, especially for cider lovers! Many cidermakers, including Tieton Ciderworks and Westcott Bay, are now shipping right to your door. And even tasting kits for the biggest event of all - the Seattle Cider Summit Virtual Festival - can be delivered this year!  

Washington Cider Week 2020 events are coming online now and more are being posted every day - and they sell out! Bookmark https://www.washingtonciderweek.org/ and follow https://www.facebook.com/WaCiderWeek/ today to make sure you get the chance to celebrate Washington cider!
